Public Groups 3-4-5 

The top three remain unchanged; but there are changes underneath. Overall, it’s pretty stable. The fourth and fifth-ranked teams both lost, which generated some movement. As I have said before, I generally do not penalize teams for …

Public Groups 1-2  

The Top 9 remain the same. The biggest change comes from Caldwell beating Cedar Grove and they generally flip-flop with one another. There are some changes in the order, while two teams exit and two enter.

Public Groups 3-4-5 

There are some changes. I flip-flopped Northern Highlands and Woodbridge; Woodbridge did not do anything bad, it was just a gut feeling. They may end up seeing one another in the playoffs and that would solve things. …

Catholics

Public Groups 1-2  

There is a change in the order with Woodstown beating Penns Grove decisively. Bernards moved down some after being beaten by Delaware Valley. There is also a new entry with Hawthorne, whose only loss was to #23 …

Public Groups 3-4-5 

It was generally stable last week. I moved Cedar Creek up a few spots after beating Holy Spirit. I also dropped Colts Neck, but they didn’t fall out entirely because one of their losses was to Donovan …
